What You Can Expect

Grosvenor House Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea in London is an institution, owing its origins to Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford – one of Queen Victoria’s ladies-in-waiting. As an elite member of Victorian society, she was accustomed to eating large breakfasts, small lunches and large dinners -- the latter served very late each night. To satisfy her afternoon hunger pangs, she summoned her servants to bring tea and cakes.

So delightful was the experience that it became a daily meal and the trend caught on – all over London.Still going strong today, afternoon teas are served all over the capital, with the most prestigious ones taking place in top hotels -- like the 5-star Grosvenor House Hotel where your afternoon tea experience takes place. Simply choose from one of the following options and relax in an atmosphere of genteel refinement:Traditional Afternoon Tea:Enjoy a traditional light afternoon tea, served in style in the Grosvenor House’s library. Taking place between 3pm and 6pm, the light feast includes a pot of classic English tea, traditional (crust-removed) sandwiches, pastries, and scones with clotted cream and fruit preserves.Anna’s Champagne Afternoon Tea:Sit down in Grosvenor House’s Park Room, which overlooks Hyde Park, and relax to elegant music from the resident pianist. Created as a testament to Duchess Anna’s legacy, this luxury afternoon tea comprises dainty finger sandwiches, buttermilk scones, cream puffs and pastries -- all served with your choice of fine English tea and a glass of all-important Champagne.

Lovely tea and tea room! Service was perfect and even offered us a box to take home a piece of cake from a selection on a center table! Do try the Hummingbird cake, it was a true highlight! Only wish was that the scones would have been fluffier. More like a flat bis quick scone, but delicious!

This experience was the highlight of my trip to London. The biscuits were warm and delectable, the sweets were mouthwatering, the tea was delicious. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It is high class and you have a lovely view of the park from the room.

it was our best tour ..............something like champagne.....................i was delighted and my friends too about the high note of this tour ................i had had never something like this in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am very very glad to have taken it....................it is something that keeps the old in the new days and gives an example of the past days ...............very nostalgic and romantic....................Bravoooooo

I rate this as one of the very best high teas I have had, the service was exceptional, the very charming Adam took care of all our High Tea needs and there was a vast and varied selection. The teas where wonderful, the champagne divine.

To top it all off, which I've never experienced with any other High Tea is that before you leave you may make a further selection of desserts and cakes which they box up for you and give you to take back to your hotel.

I had a superb time, relaxing and very comfortable. Adam was an absolute delight and we all had a great afternoon, I would gladly say this was the highlight to my London visit. I look forward till the day I can return and redo this High Tea one of the very few I would really want to. Thank you Grosvenor House, Marriott Hotels for owning such a fantastic property and to Adam for your fine attention that made mine and my guests afternoon such a memorable one.
